? about vacuum lines, oil lines, and oil pressure line. <HR style="COLOR: #ffffff; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=1><!-- / icon and****le --><!-- message -->Hi Guys, I'm purchased a 41 Buick 248 motor that was rebuilt, but never started. I would like to verify the routing for the vacuum lines, oil filter canister lines and oil pressure gauge line. Vacuum lines: from the pump, the front vacuum line goes to the intake manifold; the rear vacuum line goes to the wiper motor. Oil lines: from the oil filter canister, the bottom line from the canister goes to front of the cylinder head; the side line from the canister goes to the block outlet between the canister and the distributor. Oil pressure line: originates from the block outlet immediately behind the oil filter canister and goes directly to the oil pressure gauge. As always, help and comments are greatly appreciated. <!-- / message --><!-- controls -->
Sounds like you got 'em right. Make sure the line that feeds the filter has an orifice fitting on one end to reduce flow to the head and keep oil pressure up in the block. If you don't have it, the top end will be flooded with oil, probably burn some, and the filter housing will leak. Not to mention the lower end will be starved for lube. Oops, I mentioned it! Dan
